http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/05/2356006.htm Molik announces shock retirement The 27-year-old had looked on track to be a genuine singles contender at grand slams when she reached the quarter-finals of the 2005 Australian Open. But the Olympic bronze medallist was never able to recapture the form that saw her world ranking peak at number eight in early 2005 as she was physically unable to stand up without fear of over-balancing due to the effects of the inner ear virus. Molik has more recently been plagued by leg and arm injuries and said the decision to quit the sport was made easier. "It's tiring and it's very draining but I guess it's a number of things culminating," she said. "I've spent a lot of time thinking. I did have a huge setback three years ago, with my middle ear problem. "It took a while to get back and since then I've just struggled with a few more things that I never imagined would come along the way. "But that isn't the only thing. I think I'm still young enough to focus my energies on something that I feel is again challenging." The charismatic player won five WTA singles titles and seven in doubles including the French and Australian Opens during her career. The Athens bronze medallist said that reaching the recent Beijing Olympics had been a major goal for her. But unfortunately she bowed out in the opening round 6-1, 6-1 to lowly-ranked Spaniard Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. ======== Molik因为内耳感染以及腿伤等因素 选择在27岁退休 Molik生涯拿下五座单打冠军 包括04年的苏黎士一级冠军 加上04年雅典女单铜牌 05年在澳网闯进八强 第三盘7-9惜败给戴妈 生涯最高单打来到第八 另外和kuz拿下05年的澳网女双冠军 和Santangelo拿下07年的法网女双冠军 祝福他退休之後身体健康 :) --
